You want simple back beats with no fancy fills to emulate? I got two words for ya...
Ringo Starr.
Ringo is most noted for being the most solid back beat in music. Learn from him and them move up.
Others to consider:
Max Weinberg (E Street Band, Conan O'Brien's band)
Liberty Devito (Billy Joel)
Rick Allen (Def Leppard) * Hysteria and later. Once he lost the arm, he was forced to go to a simpler back beat style.
