This can be a very specialist area, however Lyle Caldwell suggests a few general ideas
Percussion - if it's included in a kit, treat it as a drum as above,
matching frequency and volume for miking suggestions. If it's an overdub or
separate percussion performance, you can often just use one small diaphragm
condenser about 3' above the instrument, or better yet, use a stereo miking
technique.
General rule of thumb, treat tambourines and bells as
cymbals, and mic them a bit distantly. Tablas, congas, etc, treat as a drum
as above. Experiment!
