The bond between the bass player and drummer is one of the most unbreakable and important in a band. The bass player must match with the drummer's bass drum and the drummer must pay attention to the bass player's subtleties of tone, rythym, and intensity.
Some duos are guitar players/drummers, but being a bass player myself, I enjoy the relationship between drummer/bass. When these two players know each others' playing style, the sky is the limit for percussive possibilites..

"I know when I started I would have been happy to sound like the Beatles or Joe Tex or whoever. You want to sound like most bands, you want to sound like their records and that's how you learn your chops."
