Gefell m930, off axis about 4 feet away and roll a little off of the high end. I use the same ingredients with shakers too. Also, a thigh is softer on the sound than a hand.
I've never recorded a spoon player, I bet that's a treat.

I really like the 635a for percussion. There are other things that are cool too. I usually mic as an overhead, taller than the play, and a foot or so out, maybe more. I'll often have the play move around a bit until I get what I'm after.
Someone mentioned fingertips on headed tambourine, and that can be quite useful to get the accent with less "thunk." Watch Ray Cooper, he opens and cups his hand the the five finger tips are not clustered on the head. Its a great technique.

You're using the wrong condensers.
As I said previously, "modern" voiced condensers with the exaggerated presence peak suck at this. You need a darker, traditionally voiced condenser. I like my C12A brass capsule. My Pearlman TM-1s aren't bad, either.
Probably. I had a wooden and plastic one, both of which have snuck off somewhere. I m guessing we used an AT 4033, so bright, or maybe a Bock 195 which to me is less bright, but I know also have a reputation of being bright. Those were my “good” mics at the time so probably what we used but I know we tried dynamics as well. If I had my Aea ribbon at the time, I don’t think I tried it. Anyhow this has me thinking I should probably pick up a tambourine. It probably wouldn’t get used much, but it would get used. Cheers, Geoff Yeah, I've got a boot box full of assorted percussion that doesn't get used much but does get used when it's needed. And a set of orchestral bells (the little Ludwig xylophone type ones) that won't fit in the box. I should really think about upgrading the tambourine....

I play Brazilian music, which has a lot of percussion. Last year, I lent a percussionist friend my RE20 to cut some demoes with. It impressed the hell out of me. Not the most attention grabbing sound, but everything sat in the mix SO well.
