The most *popular* one: Ravels Bolero (is this now classical?). And then
there are quite a few modern (?) works for percussion ensemble (e.g. Steve
Reichs *Drumming*) or concertos for percussion around (Panufnik, Norgard,
MacMillan ..) that might fit into this category (although these are maybe
not classical they are certainly not very popular).
