When you play the T i m roll (forward roll) I and m move in the same direction (sympathetic). T plays i and m move out together. i plays pulling m to the string, m plays. i and m move in the same direction. Most people incorrectly alternate i and m. (They play i then move m out (alternation). m should move out with i when p is playing. The principle of uniform joint movement: The tip joint, middle joint and bottom joint (right hand index finger) should be moving in the same direction (flexion) when playing. There is a tendancy to lift the bottom joint when flexing the tip joint to play a string (opposed movement). These are two problem areas. I can give more details if interested. Richie
