I think keeping the set list as simple as possible is the key to your success. You've managed to knock out one of the acoustic covers since it orginally was written and recorded without any drums on it. Take the same approach with the other songs. Since this is a 'last minute' event, don't stress out if you're not comfortable with the time you have put into practicing.
There isn't much you can do to 'cram' for this event since there really isn't much time left. To play with a good skill set of dynamic control takes years of practice and you can't beat yourself up for sounding a little 'rusty' after being away for a year.
All I can say is 'have fun' at this event. Look at it like the restart of your drumming adventure and RELAX. If you're uptight about it, it's going to reflect on your playing. Try to smile and look like you're having fun. Good luck.
