Now we're getting down to the numbers! I'd like to know what speed the
"doublers" can single tongue at that they find it necessary to double tongue.
What speed does double tonguing actually achieve? Faster than sixteenths at
quarter = 158? If so, I'd like to know where & when you need to tongue
faster than this.
