Unfortunately, I have to sell my Imperial Grand Rapids Drum table and coffee table, but I don't know how much to sell them for? I can't find much information online.

These are such nice pieces! On ebay, sellers are asking $150-$200 USD each for the Imperials. I'm not an expert but would think a higher price might be available if sold as a set.
This drum table is asking $149.99 www.ebay.com/
This coffee table is asking $199.99. www.ebay.com/
It depends on where you live, often this brand is highly collectible in some states than others. The table can be priced at as much as $600 in great condition. The coffee table $150 to $350, in states where this brand is in demand.

Your tables look like they are in good condition but the pictures are dark so the true condition may not be visible.
You have a lot of pictures but most are not showing the pieces in their best light so be sure to take pictures in a very clean area preferably with only a wall in the background. Always show complete front pictures so the entire tables are showing; this means you can see the tabletop all the way to the floor.
The value of your tables will be determined by the overall condition as well as where you are located.
Shipping is very expensive so most sellers list their items as 'local pick up only'. If shipping is desired, it should be arranged and paid for by the buyer.
I have not seen a drum table exactly like yours either listed for sale or sold so the value will have to be determined by trial.
None that I've found match the legs or hardware of your table.
I do not believe the coffee table will be as high value as the drum table but who knows? List both items and see how it goes.
Always start with a high figure and reduce the price if no one makes an offer. A good starting figure would be $450 for each item. Leave your items listed at this price for several weeks and if no offers are received then lower the price and wait again. Always consider any offers.
You may wish to consider cleaning your pieces before taking pictures. I have listed sites below that have good suggestions but I, personally, cannot recommend any of these methods.

You have a vintage Imperial Grand Rapids Table with 1 Drawer and 2 Decorative Drawer Handles.
Imperials trademark was a triangular shield with lettering Imperial, Grand Rapids, Michigan and with a crown on top. The crown and the lettering vary slightly by date. The label on your table was used after 1939 www.furniturecityhistory.org/
Your table has a blue Mahogany Association label.
The Mahogany Association used two mahogany labels on mahogany furniture (eligible to receive them). It was announced in 1936. The Red Label was for furniture made of solid mahogany lumber, the Blue Label was for furniture, in which mahogany lumber and mahogany plywood are used.

But the price is highly dependent on the demand in your area.
These tables will typically sell higher in an Antique Shop or Private sale compared to an auction. Check your local Antique Shops in the area to what one like your table would sell for or has sold for. Then you can decide to sell online or locally. If you sell to an antique shop or resale shop you can expect to get about 30-40% of what it is worth.
You can sell your table on Etsy;
in your local area with Craigslist (or in a larger city near you), it is free, the buyer picks it up;
on Ebay;
on Rubylane.
