16th Note Fury!

Author: aerostyc

Well, I'm currently playing a intermediate level concert piece, which requires me to double tongue approxmiately 104 bpm+

There's a whole page dedicated to this annoying rhythm of:
4 repeated sixteenth notes + Quarter + 4 repeated sixteenth notes + 2 eight notes.

I'm fairly fine with the fingerings and the sixteenth notes.
However, these notes require me to play on the (2nd C)2nd and (3rd C)3rd octave, whether if I'm double tonguing, I'm only such articulate with it on the 1st octave.

If I attempt to double tongue at the speed and as fluent and flowing as I can with this piece, I get mumbles of it instead. Basically meaning, not articulate at all.

Does anyone have any idea how to solve this fat-double-tonguing problem.
(More details: I can quite actually play the first 4 16th notes with a slight of success at doubling tonguing, but then as I progress, my embrochure gives up on this fiend and my cheeks puff out as I struggle D:)
