Friction and Juddering of Tambourine Skin

The chapter focuses on a discussion about trilling a tambourine and whether licking the fingers/thumb affects the friction and juddering of the skin. They debate whether the skin is absorbent and how this may impact the friction. The conversation also touches on the use of licking a thumb to demonstrate juddering on a table or hard surface, and the potential counterintuitive nature of licking a finger/thumb on a slightly wet pavement.
