Yes. Very much so. In general, when it comes to heavy music, you want to be clobbaring the drums, especially when playing backbeats. This brings out the attack of the drum and results in a much more "percussive" feel. This is less of a big deal with cymbals and in fact a lot of players hit their cymbals TOO hard, but the drums themselves - yes.
