Well, I think it's enought if you define each serie's type

$(function () {
// Create the chart
Highcharts.chart('container', {
    title: {
        text: 'Browser market shares. January, 2015 to May, 2015'
    },
    subtitle: {
        text: 'Click the columns to view versions. Source: netmarketshare.com.'
    },
    xAxis: {
        type: 'category'
    },
    yAxis: {
        title: {
            text: 'Total percent market share'
        }

    },
    legend: {
        enabled: false
    },
    plotOptions: {
        series: {
            borderWidth: 0,
            dataLabels: {
                enabled: true,
                format: '{point.y:.1f}%'
            }
        }
    },

    tooltip: {
        headerFormat: '{series.name}
',
        pointFormat: '{point.name}: {point.y:.2f}% of total
'
    },

    series: [{
        name: 'Brands',
        type: 'column',
        colorByPoint: true,
        data: [{
            name: 'Microsoft Internet Explorer',
            y: 56.33,
            drilldown: 'Microsoft Internet Explorer'
        }, {
            name: 'Chrome',
            y: 24.03,
            drilldown: 'Chrome'
        }, {
            name: 'Firefox',
            y: 10.38,
            drilldown: 'Firefox'
        }, {
            name: 'Safari',
            y: 4.77,
            drilldown: 'Safari'
        }, {
            name: 'Opera',
            y: 0.91,
            drilldown: 'Opera'
        }, {
            name: 'Proprietary or Undetectable',
            y: 0.2,
            drilldown: null
        }]
    }],
    drilldown: {
        series: [{
            type: 'line',
                name: 'Microsoft Internet Explorer',
            id: 'Microsoft Internet Explorer',
            data: //your drill data
        }, {
            name: 'Chrome',
            id: 'Chrome',
            data: //your drill data
        }, {
            name: 'Firefox',
            id: 'Firefox',
            data: //your drill data
        }, {
            name: 'Safari',
            id: 'Safari',
            data: //your drill data
        }, {
            name: 'Opera',
            id: 'Opera',
            data: //your drill data
