Just played a song where you got bonus stars based on the number of times you hit the snare drum. 250 for 1 star, 285 for 2 stars and 300 for 3 stars.

I missed one note in the entire song but only got 1 star.

If I hit that one note I still wouldn't have got the 2nd star let alone the 3rd.

How do I get the extra stars?

Isn't it also to do with the foot pedal? Ie: the bass drum. You have to get the rest something like right, you can"t just bash the snare

I have no idea what you're talking about but the FAQs at GameFAQs might.

I'm guessing you did it on medium or easy?
Step it up to hard/expert, and there will be a lot more snares to hit & miss!

I think in the bottom left of the screen, there is a symbol that looks like a record. This tells you how far away you are from getting a bonus star, more segments light up as you get closer to the target.
