A percussion instrument is any medium that makes a noise when beaten upon. As such everything can be regarded as a percussion instrument. Most probably in the prehistory the first percussion instrument was two rocks being beaten together, thus making a noise and a rhythm. The first "real" percussion instrument would be a drums as this is easy to do, extending a pig skin onto a hollow cylinder. So first percussion: Stones First "real" percussion: Drums
