Frame drum distortion

Recorded a six-piece arabic-themed band, on stage. Schoeps MK. 21 (on stage, 2', NOS, some 12 feet to the player) > CMC5 U > 744T. Very end of show. Sounds clean except here, never hit peak (-12dB average). No problems at any other point in the show. Plenty of battery power.

Not sure what is happening here. The frame drum was large, perhaps 4 feet in diameter (looks like a huge bodhran). Sympathetic vibrations? One guy was playing a "Riq," a kind of tambourine. Not sure if that was interacting. Thoughts?

Sounds like sympethetic vibrations from the drum exciting an acoustic resonance in something else nearby. Could be the tamborine, or something else loose and buzzy. The snare drum rattle effect.
That's not distortion, that's timbre.

Thanks, Gut. There was a "cajon" next to the player, a drum-box that is sat on and struck, and it has tambourine-like mechanisms inside. May have interacted with that as well.
