 '''Drum Fills and Unison / Overdrive Phrases'''
 * Unison Phrases cannot be placed on the same measure as a Drum Fill. Similarly, do not mark an Overdrive Phrase so that the crash at the end of the fill is the first note of the Phrase. Failing to do so creates a possibility of the player not receiving Energy for the Phrase due to a bug in the game.
