Sure - Dave Blumberg, how fast have you got that one up to for fun?
Dave uses a side-to-side tongue technique.

Literally moving the tongue from side to side, a kind of double tonguing where the tongue strikes twice on every swing:
starting with the tongue on the reed, swing it to the right, come back left and touch the reed, go past, swing it to the right, touvch the reed, and keep it going. Some people can do this, some can't (I wonder if it's genetic like the rolling of the tongue?). I can't, at least not very fast at all!
