House is a bit hard to pin down. Just "house" alone covers so many possibilities, sometimes the only common elements are the electronic drums, moderately fast tempo and four-to-the-floor kick beat. But they all have to have some kind of funky groove, otherwise it's not house. 4x4 aside, you have a lot of freedom with percussion in house, sometimes (especially in older tracks) you get sampled breakbeats over the basic beat, and that is one of the roots of breakbeat, hardcore and drum and bass. It's only electro house that doesn't usually have a lot of complex percussion in it, one of the many reasons I hate electro house.
Got no idea what that song is though. Other than moombahton, if you like drums complex, old school hip hop, breakbeat and some trip-hop can provide a lot of cool drumming.
