I can do slap tonguing and circular breathing a bit. Well enough that I'm sure I could do both well if I practiced them regularly but I've no real desire to. Double tonguing (using tee/kee, da/ga etc.) however, has been impossible for me, particularly in certain registers, until recently.
I was reading about early clarinet performance techniques and found that when they used to play with the reed uppermost players would use the diagphragm and throat (glottle stop) for articulation. I tried using a glottle stop for the second note of a double tongue and found it remarkably easy. In actual fact I found that I can single 'tongue' with my throat faster than with my tongue. It doesn't give as clean an attack but works great for double tonguing - for me.
I suspect my success with this may be related to the fact that I have a pretty strong northern English accent and use the glottle stop a lot as part of my normal speech.
