So what the “official” term

[2021]

When you tap you fingers like a wave. First you pinky, then ringer finger, then middle finger, then pointer finger, each finger tap hitting slightly delayed from the last one.


I think it is wave-like motion with your fingers fits. But is their like a word for it?

Nope. That's an abstract concept. Too detailed. No specific word for it. You can just call it as the "finger wave" or something.

Or... The violinist trying to find their fingerings and slowly messing up then realizing they're drunk.

Which ever term you want.

To thrum your fingers would probably be the closest thing.

I would say to drum your fingers. That's what I used at least.

drumming or thrumming your fingers

Just don't say fingering

You're right. It would be more accurate to say 'slowly fingering, with a slight delay'.

tapping the table with your fingers in a rhythmic way or just drumming.
