Mic stands and more mics. You don't "need" anything else on this list. Experienced musicians usually have thier own equipment and sound they like and will want to use it. Your job it to capture that sound as best you can.

Any drums, amps, guitars will be for suggestion only, based on your experience. I've used my Pod Pro/ADA power amp set up for 4 years now and can get a sound a player is looking for if they only own a practice Crate, or pawn shop special.

What you can get is percussion pieces like cowbell, chimes, bongos, shakers, and other hand percussion that normal drummers don't own. Some bands would say, "it would sound awesome if we had a vibra-slap or cabasa on the bridge, do you have one?"
