Other good ones:

The Doomsday Machine

Blue Rondo a la Turk

Jingle Bells? (pretty much the only Christmas percussion ensemble I can stand)

 

I don't listen to percussion ensembles a lot, so I'm interested to see what people post. They're really interesting and fun to listen to.

 

Edit: Whoops, just saw "without standard instruments". Oh well. Out of those, Doomsday Machine is really the only one that could be considered without standard instruments, and that's pushing it.
