Here's one article you can read for guidance. There are also numerous threads in the archive on the subject.

The sylable that I think when multiple tonguing are Ta-Ga, Ta-G or Ta-Ta-GA. Ta-Ta-Ga. My thinking is that the "G" provides more intense breath support for the "back tongue" enuciation than do the other suggested sounds. Just thought I would add this to the above info as it seems to work well for me.
Additionaly, John Bruce-Yeh told me he uses the "over the tip" method, flopping the tongue up and down for the double and up/down, Ta for the triple. Surprisingly, the "down" stroke does not harm the tip of the reed. He told me he uses this method in his recording of the Nielson.
So, bottom line is: multiple tonguing skills are used routinly by those of us with "slow tongue" syndrom, and you "do what works for you."

ta ka ka ta ka tu ka tu ka ka ta ku ad infinitum
tick a tick a tick a etc.
keep the tongue close to the reed tip and make sure the reed speaks freely and anyone should be able to double tongue.

It is possible on all woodwinds. Repeated calisthenic type practice to develop some muscle memory is the approach. You just have to work out the best Ka type of attack for your mouth shape. If your brother is using the Shuebruk grade tongue trainers for trumpet you can also use the same exercises. These books, although brass specific and possibly out of print, contain great ideas on calisthenic, repetitive, development of the tongue. The tongue position on saxophone is a little different you have to strike the tip of the reed at 180 degrees rather than the angle on the clarinet.

Mark mentioned this site, I came across it last year and it transformed my tonguing to such an extent that people noticed, perhaps it was diabolical before but my articulation did improve considerably.
