It's where they take their hand and rotate it somehow so all the fingers pick the strings sequentially on the way down, but before some of the fingers are done on the way down, the others start on the way up, doubling some of the strikes. At least that's how I assume it's done, I don't really know, thus this thread. It's sort of like a (classical) tremelo technique for all the strings. Sometimes they just do it for one pass, but it can be done repeatedly. But the end result is a continual rolling sound. Does that make any sense at all?
I think I saw Joe Walsh do it on some Eagles concert if that helps, but again, could be wrong there too! :confused: But can anyone actually do this technique, and if so, some tips perhaps (and what's it called)?

I'm not going to be of much use. All I really have to say is that the technique sounds really cool.
