It'll be satisfying to bring them back to a respectable state. Not going for perfect, you can't undo what's done. No matter how I patch and fill, they've been molested. But they'll be made into nice players. I've got a similar 16" and the 10/13/22 were only $100.00....
Few upgrades for me. New Snare: MAPEX BLACK PANTHER 14"X6.5" Thomann edition. Got Zultan Aja 10" splash, 14" Wuhan china, and another 21" Sabian Sr2 Thin. Changed my 13" tom to 12". But stll, most fun playing is with simple hi hat and 1 crash/ride set up.
Current stable: M Birch, Club Date, Keystones, Saturns

Don't blame you, I would have snatched those up as well for that price. You could always just make a cover plate for a virgin bass drum. Or, maybe a standard Pearl BB3 double bass mount would still cover everything on the outside. Add a reinforcement plate on the inside and no one will ever know. Either way, it will make a nice sounding/looking set that you won't have to be worried about playing.

Play the SONG......not the DRUMS!!!
"I think that feeling is a lot more important than technique. It's all very well doing a triple paradiddle - but who's going to know you've done it? If you play technically you sound like everybody else. It's being original that counts." ~ John Bonham
Hey all, here's a picture of my Ludwig Epic, 24" bass drum, it sounds great!

Got the new DWs home and thought I'd share. Lets hope the Luddies don't feel ignored.

Nice set of DWs ... love the finish. Ignore the Luddies ... nawww, huh? I would have a hard time ignoring that Ludwig kit no matter how many other kits were in the room ...
That is a Chad Smith Sabian 17" holy china.
Thank you for input, with the rack I could mount my trigger pads,octobans,etc. better. but I like this set up.
