Sorry to be so disbelieving, but I have to get this straight in my own
mind. Do you mean that when the metronome beats at 285+ beats per minute,
you tongue FOUR notes PER metronome beat? (My metronome only goes up to
208, but I can't even DOUBLE tongue 4 notes to a beat at that rate. Please
don't take offense, but I just can't believe such fast tonguing. How about
an audio clip so we can hear what it sounds like?

=============================================================

Most tongues do not work that way. It's a natural kind of thing. You just
swing your tongue from side to side very rapidly. You have to be able to
say it first, then play it. BTW, My metronome in Band-in a box 8 goes up
to 500!!!!!!!!! I don't consider the side to side method "single
tonguing", unless it is in a "Clinton-esque" way of description (if not,
then it must not be).
