Your question has been answered in the thread already, Sorasen. But once again: Thomas says to keep it pretty basic. There is a drum set(which will minimally include a snare, a bass, a cymbal of sorts, and perhaps a hi-hat--I wrote for hi-hat already, so if you do and it turns out they don't have one, it won't be the3 end of the world), then tambourine, triangle, cowbell, woodblock, these would be probably the only percussion you'll need, and the only ones they will have. I'm sure if you write for a solo tam-tam it would be fine if they played it with a larger mallet on the cymbal, however. Percussionists are known for imprvising.
