That one.
Essentially a drum computer with a real drum kit as sound creator (output), whereas the electronic drum kit uses a sort of drum kit as input.
For whatever reason, that's what I envisioned when I read the name "Drum trigger" and saw the picture of one. It wasn't until later that I thought "Hey wait; from the way people are talking about them, I think the "trigger" is more a sensor that detects when you hit a "real" drum head, and then produces an electronic output.
I'm still not sure, haven't had time to read about them.

Yes, they're triggers that send data to a sound bank. They're not mechanical things hitting the drum kit for you. Well, I'm sure it exists somewhere, but they're rare. Just like you also have "robotic" grand piano's, but that's not what people talk about when they want an electronic piano.
