I've seen a couple of Duck Dunn's with Al Jackson Jr. and one Duck Dunn with Jamie Oldaker, but the one that immediately popped into my head was...
Donald "Duck" Dunn/Steve Jordan
...from the Briefcase Full of Blues album. That's about as solid and bad a$$ as they come. There are so many others, but this tandem is what immediately came to mind first. So good.

Nice one! Thanks for bringing them up here although personally I slighty (only slightly) favor Gerry McAvoy/Wilgar Campbell
Not mentioned yet, I think:
Charles Mingus/Dannie Richmond
Billy Cox/Mitch Mitchell
Andy Fraser/Simon Kirke
Tony Williams/whomever there was on bass (to my ears he made any bass player sound great)
Dee Murray/Nigel Olson-especially in Elton's trio. Plenty of room to play, no guitars to worry about, and they sang great harmonies.
Bernard Edwards / Tony Thompson

John McVie / Mick Fleetwood
Fred Smith / Billy Ficca (Television)
Bruce Foxton / Rick Buckler

Don Alias and Jaco on Shadows and Light. It seems telepathic. I never tire of it. Nothing else comes close.
Just about anything by the Funkadelics.

The best? But maybe some of my favorites:
Roxy Music - Graham Simpson and Paul Thompson on drums
10cc - Graham Gouldman and Paul Burgess on drums
Wow two Named Graham and two named Paul. If it hadn't of been for Talkbass.
Oh yeah one more
Free - Andy Fraser and Simon Kirke on drums
