Hello, I saw many videos about double tonguing and they say they do D-G and not T-K.. But when I start slowly trying to double tongue I can't make the D-G but I make the T-K easier.. But as a result, I can't make fast double tonguing! How to understand to make the D-G and accelarate my double tonguing capability? Any ideas for some exercises???

Double tonguing is almost diametrically opposed to standard tonguing conceptually. If you take Bonade's synchro staccato exercise to heart as taught by Robert Marcellus, you dampen the reed from vibrating by placing the tongue on the reed to stop the reed from vibrating; then release the tongue from the reed to allow the reed to produce the next sound.
In double tonguing the idea is SPEED, and therefore in the execution of it you do not stop the reed from vibrating; nor do you stop the flow of air (entirely). What you wind up doing is basically causing a quick lessening of the air flow followed by a surge of more air flow.....over and over again.
In all honesty I find it most effective (particularly in the upper clarion and beyond) to tongue the roof of the mouth for both the tip of the tongue action (the TEE sound) AND the action further back on the tongue (the KEE sound).
The very best video is this one. Alexey says in there that when you are playing fast double tonguing it will sound as if you are not tonguing at all until you play back a recording of yourself.

I use the same video as Paul listed above, to share with fellow players. It's pretty good! Take your time, sometimes weeks or longer to get the feel of this.
