Ok so.....

This is actually the first drum chart post that will contain an actual path on where to use star power. Perhaps players are waiting for scores to uploaded before posting (which is now!) Thanks JC. Or perhaps drum pathes tend to be more obvious i.e. don't activate before long breaks (thank you very little Black Hole Sun) and use where many notes are. Seems there are several songs like the guitar pathes that once you activate at the right spot you can keep hitting SP phrases and keep going and going. And I know they're called energy phrases, but I'm gonna say star power. Sue me.

Let me recap all other posts so far.
This song is fun
This song is hard
South Park is cool

At some point this community will settle on a good way of using numbers to describe drum pathes as they will be different than guitar paths. Any advice will be appreciated. Also the length of star power per half meter is unknown to me anyway. I'm assuming 4 measures per half meter. This looks pretty accurate.

Why chart easy level? Because I suck at drums and can't 100% expert. And a 3 year old with modest rythem skills can ace easy.

Oh yeah the path..... This is one song (among many) where waiting to activate pays off. It's also fairly obvious to me anyway, but for a first post in unkown waters, maybe this unleashes a flood of proper pathes.

It might be 3(pick up 2) - 3(pick up 2)
So get the first two and skip the next freestyle section. The verse sections of this song are lame. You'll pick up a third and activate it on the next start spot and you will pick up 2 phrases extending the activation.
Next get 2, skip the next start, get the third and activate, picking up 2 more as you play.

In the chart I used 3(p/u 4)-3(p/u 2) for shorthand. Good? bad?
Actually that was on the old chart posted. The new corrected chart shows the path as 3-3
No big work of genius here, just wanted to get the ball rolling.

This got me my highest score of 67575. Right now theres no way too check if this ties for first or not. Let me know if you got more and obviously what path you used. Got a feeling the easy boards will clogged with ties on songs with no BRE.

Speaking of Big Rock Endings (BRE)(where I come from we call them train wreck endings) - a suggestions for future posts on those songs would be to include what is a) a reasonably good amount of points for the BRE, or even better b) the maximum amount of points obtainable.

1-1 is optimal

Here is the optimal path with the note chart:

Hey some body actually read this. yeah.

Looking at your chart, I would still describe that as 3 - 3 with skipping the first act. spot.
