Internal dynamics are important too - syncopated accents have to be played exactly the right volume. If the notes are played too hard then the beat gets that clumsy "gallumphing" quality...
I agree... here's a perfect exemple, lol

It's amazing how bad dynamics (or the lack of it) can ruin a song, even if it's on time and the correct pattern are being played.
Internal dynamics are as important as our inner clock we use to keep time, it's an intregral (pun intended) part of any musicians and just another skill we, as drummers have to learn in our multi-tasking instruments.
