My recording has clipping on beat: can I reduce/make it more pleasant?

Hello, guys! I hope you can help me on this. I have this video from a band gig which I took using a cellphone camera. It wasn't so sophisticated. The music was so loud that when I listened to the recorded video, the drum beat suffers, it sounds like it's clipping, I don't know how it's called. You can watch the video here. Are there any ways of reducing that particular sound or editing it so it may sound pleasant? Thanks!

Mild clipping can sometimes be "un-clipped" with software.  What you have there is not mild clipping.  Your phone was overloading and has created a whole new sound on those drum hits.  Sorry, I don't thing there's anything that could be done.  Cell phones are notoriously bad audio recorders, even if the video is decent.
