all those examples, they made me laugh
But your right. Most time in the studio is spend trying everything out.
And yes if you need a percussion but can't find the right thing try jamming on a table top with some pencils with some weird effect on it. You may be surprised what you end up with
Remember that weird song?
"da da da" preformed by Trio
That amazing casino math ruler synth sound.
Just great to use a kids toy in their preference.

Totally agree you shouldn't approach a project with a "Fix it in the mix" attitude. While there are some amazing tweaks you can accomplish when necessary, I've "overdone" it plenty of times and wound up trashing a mix and starting over. There is no substitute for a clear, quality recording. If the source needs that much help, record it again.

Exactly ! To get the best result, everything should be right from the beginning of the process
