Log drums are tiring after an hour. I hope one day they depart from that ingredient.

There is rarely piano but when there is then it is electric piano which has a very different sound you may not recognize(?)

The other elements are shakers and...

a single note or chord stab on the off-beat (or every second off-beat, sometimes every second on-beat for variety).

Amazingly this song reached #1 in South Africa? Syncopated rhythm and no vocals — I don't know of such a #1 track anywhere in the world. SA has rhythm.

This guy (with a Greek Father) was huge but died young. Here is another track of his.

Here is s long mix by a woman from that #1 track. More that she was popular enough to play in Australia (long way from SA and not many give available here).

Yes, that's probably true. I guess from the genres I am coming from I mentally associate the word "piano" with a specific sound emulating that of a non-electric/traditional piano with some added reverb and sometimes delay.

In finding this Rhodes piano video for you I finally realise that the very low bass notes have a grungey tone (clipping distortion). I even played one of these weekly at my music teacher's place but did not notice.
