Default Classical music with drums

Obviously most orchestral music utilizes drums to some extent, but I'm talking about music with prominent drums, something you could call a beat or at least strong rhythmic elements.
There is a lot of experimental music for drums only, for example by Xenakis or Cage, Harry Partch and Moondog also come to mind, as well as some Zappa.
What else is there?
And is there older, more traditional classical music with prominent drums?
