This video shows how to play a rock groove without the use of a back beat. This pattern requires quite a bit of indipendence. Try and keep the groove simple, and not too busy, so that you leave room for the other people that you are playing with. Also remember to imply the backbeat on 2 and 4 even though you are not playing it.
