.... Any suggestions on what I could do with these things as far as cutting, hammering, and drilling goes?
Probably what I would do.Give 'em to some kid who is just starting out. This will benefit both of you!

I'm with Bermuda or gdmoore28. Last year I donated a 6 piece PDP CX Series maple along with stands and a couple of cymbals to the Harrisburg Youth Symphony Orchestra. They have practically no budget, and none of the kids in the percussion section have a set. The looks on their faces was worth every penny I didn't get selling them. Probably more so.
I like the way you think my friend. Showin some drummer love. I have some gear that I might look to do the same with.Paying it forward is right pearlygates, nobody ever did anything like that for me. Although keeping them for a practice set is a good idea as Bermuda had mentioned. Done that many times with cymbals and gear, myself.
