The MPC was designed by Roger Linn (pictured in 2010), who also created the LinnDrum..

V-Drums trigger devices are of four major types: mesh-head drum pads, rubber pads, cymbal pads and acoustic drum triggers. Mesh-head pads look very similar to acoustic drums, and attempt to emulate their feel. The simpler, more generic type is a rubber pad, which is less expensive, but also looks and feels less like an acoustic drum.
Aerodrums operate via motion capture technology; a high speed camera captures reflections off the kit's sticks and foot pads and converts them into digital signals that can trigger the relevant drum sample. The system requires a PlayStation 3 eye camera and the software runs on Windows and MacOS. The whole kit can be stored in a backpack ...

[5] [6] On early models, the power supply over-heated the CPU and had to be replaced under warranty, but insurmountable issues with the Linn 9000's operating system forced its eventual demise.
