Hey, there! Thanks to Jon for the great reply. :)

Just for future reference here's my post on getting the pinky up to speed.

Being able to get your pinky to do that much work requires that it has enough strength & dexterity. With that in mind, first make sure you are properly warmed up & stretched.

Next, this tutorial to build up your pinky strength & dexterity.

Then, use these trill drills to work on finger independence & control.

After working with these exercises for a while you will be in much better shape to play those parts! I use these exercises regularly to warm up & stay in shape.

Best of success!
