+1 on Odd-Arne's recommendations of course. 'The Drumset Musician' and 'A Fresh Approach to the Drumset' are also nice books.
Just to add some more information:
I think that these playlists of Ed Soph and Gordy Knudtson tutorials are a nice introduction to (mostly hand) technique:

Also good but maybe better suited for a little later are these videos by Rick Dior and Bruce Becker:

The Tommy Igoe DVD provides a great sequence of useful sticking patterns and it's very much hands-on.
In the beginning, you might not use your left foot as much to play grooves, so you could focus on some coordination that you encounter in grooves you want to play (r=right, l=left, k=Kick/Bass Drum, H=Both hands at the same time, R=right hand and foot at the same time):
r l
l r
r k
l k
H k
H l
R k
R l
...
You can extend these exercises to 3 or 4 note groupings and include the left foot if the music you want to play calls for it.
Some additional pointers:
- Aim for precision, relaxation and sound and keep good posture.
- Don't lean on your hi hat to stabilize your body too much - you'll want to include it later and it can result in a choked sound.
- Watch yourself and your stick height to get the ghost notes soft.
- Pester your former drummers to give you some advice if you can't have a teacher or come back here with some videos.
- It's great that you're a professional bassist, so you probably know what you want to hear from a drummer - try to be that drummer.
