no. that's a breakbeat.
in the video i posted the samba is on the kick. there is no rule that says the samba has to be played on the kick, however. it's what is called a "clave" or "ostinato", which is basically just an underlying repetitive pattern or rhythm over which other - usually improvisational - rhythms or solos are played. as far as i know, it doesn't make too many appearances in electronic dance music. if you're actually interested in it i recommend locating some latin music.
