Because I don't have a drum kit but I am aware of the song and how easy it is

Polly is no fun at all to play, Charlene at least is fun and takes a modicum of skill.

if you are struggling with this achievement just download the free single charlene. its got a steady foot pedal rythm and should only take a couple of attempts to get.

Yes, I got it on this song too... and I'm awful on drums. I can only normally play medium, but I got 100% expert on Charlene after only a few tries.

If you're not willing to pay for "Polly", the song "Charlene" by Stephen & The Colberts is a free Bonus song that is roughly a minute and a half long, with a constant but somewhat simple beat to follow (just get your bass foot in a constant rhythm for it and let your hands do the rest).

PS - This song is almost like punishment for those not-so-hot drummers needing an easy song to get the achievement for. Simple missed notes will mean you have to restart and endure this incredibly boring... 'song'... be warned! ;)

Just Download Silver and do it on your first run. That is the easiest song ever played on drums.

If you don't want to download a song for this, I would recommend I Think I'm Paranoid, beacsue it's really easy and don't has any rolls in it. Just get comfortable with the beat the pedal and you should do it pretty quickly.

Getting this Achievment is very easy: Just go for the Song "I think im paranoid" by Garbage. Even on Expert this song is pretty easy to play.

As Well as the songs mentioned above. I think that Beetlebum by Blur is an easy steady 4/4 beat to play with no difficulty at all.

Also if it helps avoid drumming fills for Overdrive/Starpower. This can put you offbeat and go out of time.

Another also. Keep an eye on how your drumming. sometimes when your drumming you stray away from hitting the centre of the drum and it becomes less sensitive.

Download the free song "Charlene i'm right behind you" The song is very short and the drum beat is very basic.

this is probably the easiest song in the game.

EDIT: Replaced video with a working one. Sorry for the quality, tried to find one from this game.


I know this has been said before, but I'll say it again (with links to make it easier to purchase the song):

"Polly" by Nirvana

The song is available for $2 (160 Microsoft Points) as a single on Xbox LIVE Marketplace. There is also a pack that contains this song, if you like Nirvana that is.

Download links:
"Polly" by Nirvana (single)
OR
Nirvana Pack 01 (includes "Polly" and 6 other songs by Nirvana)

You can also play the same song again to get the Rock Band 2 achievement.
Solution for Flawless Drumming In Rock Band 2


It is NOT possible to obtain 5 gold stars from this song on expert drums. The best you can get with 100% notes hit FC (Full Combo) and proper overdrive activation is 3 stars (250 points).

I personally don't have this one but research says that the easiest songs for this are:

  • 29 Fingers (Bonus Song) - This song has no bass pedal, so if that's the problem then this should be easy.
  • I Think I'm Paranoid - This song doesn't have any extremely hard parts, that is why it's a good candidate.
