Not entirely sure what you mean by "Not flash, just downright hard-hitting drummers", but my top 3 favourite drumms are

1. Neil Peart (Rush)
2. Flo Mounier (Cryptopsy)
3. Close tie between Dave Mackintosh (DragonForce) and Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater, Transatlantic, etc.)

Inferno - Behemoth (He joined uniquely speed, heavy, technical. Your participation in the band greatly increased the technical quality of songs and albums. It is unusual for a drummer band "Death / Black" use all parts of your drum)

Mike Portnoy - Dream Theater (An icon of the progressive metal, impressive technical quality, ingenious compositions, fantastic)

Martin Lopes - Opeth (Accurate, creative, technical. He could feel the music and lead it by the sequence of the most splendid. He had vision and seemed to predict what the music wanted for himself)

A lot of over-the-top, flash drummers listed...not quite what I would term "solid"...although they are indeed brilliant...
 
By my definition, some top notch solid drummers would be:
 
Vinny Appice - His work w/ Sabbath & Dio is like granite
 
Jerry Gaskill - One of the most understated virtuoso drummers out there...seldom lets on how good he really is, but his creativity in fills and patterns alone, not to mention his live time, is unreal
 
Jeff Olson - puts down a massive foundation...solid as it gets, IMO...

Check this out from about 4:30, the last section blows my mind:



Martin Lopez and Danney Carey are obligatory, two of my other favourites from the metal field.
