This will explain what's happening in your muscles when you drum. There's huge carryover so this will also apply to index playing.



These are the muscles in your forearm. There's a lot of them and they're tiny. The brachioradialis makes up a huge percentage of your forearm:



This is why you can have really developed muscles for this activity, but really tiny forearms.

This is what the muscles actually do, for the most part: http://articleadvocates.com/ArticleA...play.cfm/19492

Since index and drumming use similar muscles, there's a lot of muscular carryover and explaining one should explain the other -- especially since drumming emphasizes more muscles than index, but the same muscles index uses.
