Why do I hear that drum pattern in almost every modern R&B/Trap song?

It starts at 0:16 and its a kick and then a hi hat and then some kind of roll with claps? I'm not exactly sure but I hear this exact same pattern in so many songs. Anyone else notice this? I'm not a producer but I'm just wondering, is this some shyt producers do? Using the same patterns? Why is this so common?
nikkas using loop packs now, fam.
Also, that roll got popularized in the mid 90s by devante/timbaland/smk/missy...shyt just came back to prominence in R&B because of trap.

So nikkas aren't even programming those drums? It's just a loop plopped in from one of those downloadable packs?

Damn, nikkas got cheat codes for producing in 2016.

It's either or.
On some G shyt, it's so easy to do when you're programming, you don't even have to use a loop pack.
You literally just quick-chop a 16th or 8th roll with 1 click now...The note repeat cheat, too.

Nope.

PND. Top 5 most talented people in music right now. Produces most of his music, prolific versatile writer, brilliant projects.
Slightly prefer Tiller. Just on some music. I don't care about who writes what, or who produces what. I only care about the music. All that other shyt about "talent" is outdated. Just about the finished product. PND producing doesn't mean much if the finish product is not Tiller's.

I prefer all of PND albums over Trapsoul though. It's a taste thing though I guess
