Of course all melodies have some type of rhythm. Its impossible not to. Not all rhythms have melodies. I will attempt to illustrate. Do drums have a melody? No. Do rap vocals have a melody? No. Do drums play the rhythm? Yes. Do rap vocals play the rhythm? Yes.

Please cite a Beatles song where the vocals are playing a drumming part. I will get my cd and reference it because I don't recall hearing such a song. I only remember melodic vocal phrasing in Beatles songs.

I assure you that I have heard enough music. If I were to bet; I would say more then you.
