| 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.
