Yep, I've been in a few around Wellington, Taupo and Christchurch, they felt quite different. The Christchurch one I missed being hurt in a collapsed roof of the Riccarton Mall shopping centre food court by only about 5 minutes. Today I noticed the rubble and felt a gradual build up over several tens of seconds, in NZ they tend to be quite a bit more abrupt. Luckily I wasn't there for either of the big ones.
I've experienced quite a few in Indonesia as well, but they are different too being some being related to volcanoes so they often have lots of little lead up rumbles.
I suppose it always depends on how far away you are and how deep it is.
