Not necessarily. If you listen/watch the Campus 5, the rhythm comes from Jonathan on guitar, and unless he's taking a solo, he's constantly playing the "chug, chug, chug" rhythm for all of the songs. The drummer will normally play the bass drum in compliment to that same rhythm, or play the 2/4 beat on some songs for a slightly different sound, but the rest of the drum beats are used for more accents and laid back (in the pocket) kind of back beats.Toon Town Dave wrote:Too much of the same gets boring.
You can make many songs sounds completely different, but still have that "chug, chug" sound driving the rhythm and pushing the tempo, which all dancers appreciate . . . and I definitly don't consider Campus 5 to be boring.
