Musicians: What are you learning right now?

$500 is what I want to spend on a basic kit. Is that too cheap?

No way, that's a totally acceptable budget. Are you looking for just a simple, 4 or 5 piece kit, with basic cymbals? If so, I can suggest some good options. If you're looking for a kit with more pieces (more toms, double bass, etc), then that budget might be hard.
 
A few songs I'll be playing with a band, at a friend's wedding:

A Tout Le Monde - Megadeth
Nightrain - Guns n Roses
The Unforgiven - Metallica
No Secrets - The Angels
Cherub Rock - Smashing Pumpkins
No Excuses - Alice in Chains
 
I had to learn "Divinations" by Mastadon recently on Bass for a friend of mines youtube channel. Other than that, been taking time off of music to reset.
