The further forward in your mouth you can roll, the more difference it will make. Also - just for this, and for double-tonguing, spread your embouchure (smile) and close your jaw a little.

[Why? all of the above make the "working volume" of your mouth smaller. Oboe is a high-pressure instrument and the inside of your mouth is very flexible, "springy", and dampens the flutter effect of the tongue before it can affect the reed. The smaller the working volume of air in your mouth, the greater relative effect the flutter-tonguing has.]

Remember - you are not trying to sound good here - the raucous effect is what the composer is asking for. Do your worst!
