Yes. And it's an almost featureless 4/4 drum beat, it's practically a preset. Reznor composed, performed, and arranged 34 Ghosts (or the first two, then left the room for 20 minutes for Atticus to do the last part).
Also, the 'Nightclubbing' sample in 'Closer' is the least interesting thing about 'Closer' whereas the sample from 34 is THE ONLY REASON anyone is paying 'Old Town Road' any attention.
