Now days it would be more likely that they'd strip away all the breaks and
just use that "two-step" rhythm 

boom                paf                        boom         paf

ad infinitum. Something about that bugs me far more than a relatively
unobtrusive "boom" on every beat in a techno / house /whatever tune. I
mean, the above _can_ be cool, but it's soooo played out. It's more of a
cliche than the old amen break, because at least people cut the rhythm of
that one up sometimes.
