In this Sting interview published in Musician magazine July 1985 issue, he mentions a LinnDrum:

"I do find if you use machines solely, you lose that human dimension. So if I'm playing a sequence or using a LinnDrum I'll always play some of the parts manually, in order to inject a bit of personality. Fingers can find things that machines never will."

In the Bring On The Night movie, Sting programs a beat on "We Work The Black Seam" using the LinnDrum. Typically, according to an interview published in International Musician & Recording World July 1985 issue, Sting used the LinnDrum for composing in tandem with the Synclavier, rather than using the latter's own drum sounds for the sake of ease.
