Good grief, John... do you always make statements without doing homework first? There are a variety of ways of articulating in all registers that work equally well. Clarke's works fine and dandy as do other methods. " Never experience accuracy, tonguing speed..." What nonsense.
And by the way, Doc does NOT tongue that way. I've actually played with the guy and we've had plenty of conversations about articulation and I know for a FACT that he doesn't use this method exclusively if at all.
Sigh...

Hi Manny,
I didn't write that. I was quoting what Jeff Purtle wrote in one of his articles.
I do agree with you that that particular sentence is a bit absolute. But I also agree with Jeff that the method of tonguing advocated by Herbert L. Clarke is the best for most players. Changing my own tonguing to the KTM way helped my playing tremendously.
Sincerely,
John Mohan
