if it's accompanied by shortness of breath and/or occurs with Stress, I'm with an MD check in the near future. At least get your BP checked right away.
If it's not, it could be inflammatory, say the cartileges that cushion your ribs from your breastbone; you might try some NSAIDs (if your stomach is up to it), i.e. ibuprofen, naproxen, aspirin, to see if that helps.
If it does involve cartilege, the ONLY solution is rest, so do very slow warm-ups before you play and play less for awhile, avoid really intense pieces, etc.
I'd also avoid heat.
In ANY case, if it continues I'd suggest a visit to the doc.
then again, the bass drum could've sparked anxiety or the vibrations could have triggered something odd in your nervous system...
Listen to your bod and TAKE CARE.
