rim
Explanation:
It sounds like you're dealing with a snare drum ([tambor de] caja), not a box.

The rim around a drum such as a snare drum is called just that, the rim. If you place the end of a drumstick on the skin and then bring the neck of the stick down sharply down onto the rim, you produce what is called a rimshot.
