      Dr0PPA ZETI To answer your question, I doubt it. Traits don’t just disappear due to disuse, that’s not how genetics works. I’m not an anthropologist (Biochemist who has studied evolutionary biology tho) but the whole “we’re not using it so it’s disappearing” thing implies an intentionality to evolution that isn’t there. I’m sure that if some kind of mutation were to arise that caused 1% of babies to be born sans pinkies that the trait wouldn’t be selected *out* per se (selection pressure for humanity as a whole has p much disappeared), but for humans to start “losing their pinkies” would require some kind of selection pressure that would render the lack of a pinky somehow advantageous to propagating one’s genes over the presence of a pinky. Also, I’m really not convinced that we’re somehow using our pinkies less than we were thousands of years ago. We’re still gripping things and holding them. Honestly with the advent of typing I wouldn’t be surprised if we’re using our pinkies MORE now than we were thousands of years ago.

I wish you luck in your efforts and will continue to enjoy the by-products of your experiments.

Although the most recent attempt did require assistance from the percussive subject matter expert Louis Cole.

    The tambourine is much more challenging and nuanced than one might think, especially in an arrangement that leaves the percussion nowhere to hide like this one. The angle of your wrist affects the decay and jangle in a way that can be ignored on a karaoke stage but will make or break an actual recording session, especially on Vulf where overdubbing requires an act of congress. And that's just one factor. Another big one is, the hand holding the tambourine has to be very careful about its movements, because a gentle adjustment can result in sound. It's like playing the drums while you have a maraca strapped to one hand. Or a tambourine, I guess.
    Long-form version of, there's a reason Sandra Crouch is featured in the title of this video.
