I tried both left and right handed basses for a few weeks, right handed felt best despite me being lefty.
Likewise on drums, I play right handed setup but don't play crossed.... left hand for the hi hat, right hand for the ride, whichever other hand for the snare. The advantage is that both hands get the same workout whereas most drummers have a weak hand.
And yes, for fills around the kit I mostly have to lead with my right hand, although leading with the left results in some interesting fills.

I'm exactly the same as you, my brother is also a lefty who plays right handed guitar (he's never touched a bass) and right handed drums although he plays cross handed.
I've tried a left handed bass before but it was extremely awkward, I couldn't fret particularly well nor did I feel I had as much control with my plucking hand.
