Drum Visions FC's

In the past week one of the most amazing Rock Band accomplishments occurred - an FC of Visions on Expert drums. By many Visions in considered the hardest drum song in the game so obviously this was a big deal. However, there was a bunch of controversy surrouding this phenomenal feat by I-jeff-I due to his use of Overdrive or OD (the thing like Star Power in Guitar Hero for those who don't know). To give background info, on drums once half a bar of OD is gained (either by hitting two OD note sequences or getting a Unison Bonus in co-op play) every 4 measures or so a portion of the song is cut out and a Fill is put in in which you can hit any notes and then hit the crash symbol at the end of it to use it. However, if you don't hit the last note in the Fill you will keep the OD and that Fill section will keep reappearing every 4 measures until it is used.

In I-jeff-I's FC of Visions once he got OD he held onto it until the very end of the song. By doing this, though, a bunch of the song was skipped with the OD Fill sections. He did FC every part of the song he did play, though, including the blast beats and other really hard parts thereby technically getting 100%. There are some people calling this a Bootlegged run because he avoided playing so much of the song but I would consider it legit. He chose to hoard the OD in order to get the FC but while doing so lost a ton of points - he wasn't close to getting GS and only 5-starred the song in the last 10 seconds or so.

Luckily, this discussion was helped out by another FC of Visions soon after (same day possibly) by Mrallen95, this time with a different OD path which included more of the song. Mrallen95 not only FC'd the song but also GS it which is also extremely impressive. Still, this brings up the debate which is more important the percent of notes hit or the final score? Also, should the way drums use OD be changed so as not to miss any of the song? I've heard that in The Beatles Rock Band this has been addressed a little but we'll see. Jeff's FC raised some controversy in the Rock Band world this past week but I still would like to congratulate him on being the first person to accomplish this, with the right path or not.
