Excellent video. I have been thinking about the reason for this for a long time. This explanation is spot on. Also, as a drummer , I don’t like the overuse of drum machines. Musical drumming contains small variations and accents.
Why does all new pop music sound the same?
Basically because it IS the same - I think anyone with ears already knows that, but there is more to it.
