The last few years have seen people learn how to “roll”, effectively lightly pressing left or right and then drumming their fingers on the back of the controller, getting discrete taps far faster than typical.

The essence of this trick being that one can move multiple fingers to hit successively with time intervals impossible for a single finger; the same mechanism is also how fast typists work.

Another comparison is a scratch DJ tapping the crossfader with 3 fingers in quick succession - the 'crab scratch': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUQ7MviIaL8&t=34
