That's how I've mostly played since losing the pick (used to be a guitarist). Thumb for downstrokes, index/middle/ring for upstrokes. It gives you two distinct kinds of attack, corresponding in a way to kick/snare. You can combine these into dynamic patterns that complement the drum beats.

...Matt Garrison demonstrating 4 finger technique - it seems to me it could be adapted for just the thumb and index finger - a sort of lightweight version of it
