drum your fingers.

that's how they train. finger exercises.
at the professional level, it's less about strategy and more about how fast your fingers move.

Meh. not exactly. Sure, APM is important but all the players at the pro level sport similar APM, you've got it backwards. At a high level it's about strategy, and at lower levels it's about speed.

i been wanting to ask this, but i never find any starcraft players; how effective is the "zerg rush" tactic at professional level?

It can work, but not more than once in a series. It's gimmicky, but can be effective. Depending how quickly you rush army you leave yourself wide open to a counter attack. It's an all-in play, in that usually against evenly matched opponents if it fails, then you lose the game. But it can work at the pro level, same as a cannon rush from Protoss or a 2 racks bunker push from Terran. It all comes in at around 2 minutes, if it comes later then it's not terribly strong.
