The middle finger is often used for percussion in situations such as playing a table or a desk like a drum because it’s the longest finger, which allows for the most control and power when striking the surface. It’s also less likely to be injured than the other fingers due to its larger size and protected position between the index and ring fingers. Additionally, using the middle finger for percussion can help maintain the ability to use the other fingers for fine motor tasks, as it minimizes the disruption to the other digits.
