Does anybody know of any songs that work with just a harmonica and a drumkit? My friend plays drums, and I play the harp,but at the moment we haven't really found any songs that work with just this arrangement.
Any suggestions?

Listen to Adam's solo album "Kick and Stomp". That should give you some ideas.
With a full kit you can funk up the drums!

Try 'Digging my potatoes' by cowboy bebop. Adam did a great lesson on it.

I jam with a drummer friend a lot. Its fun with the two of us doing full on improvisation. Without other instruments Ito change the vibe we get this awesome percussive thing going. Can be quite a rush as he plays for a fast hard rocking band by night. So the tempo at times can be a hell of a workout.

Click the 1shanester link on my signature. My most recent vids were a spontaneous session where just myself and a drummer played. I think there is a lot of possibility with harp/drum combos.
Here's our rambunctious version of "Help Me":

Jack Bruce playing Traintime with Ginger Baker's brushes, on the live part of the Wheels of Fire album.
Sont Terry with washboard on the 1939 Carnegie Hall Spirituals to Swing concert, especially on John Henry.
While it's true that guitar is present on Little Walter's Roller Coaster, they lock in and play an unvarying part, while the drummer follows Walter's constantly shifting downbeat.
