Alex Yates has a little shameless behaviour in the past
A helpful little hint also is to think "DDG" rather than "TTK" when tonguing fast passages. That helps take away some of the heaviness Mr.Clean is talking about. The tempo takes care of the clarity/length of the notes, so there is no need to tongue harder as you go faster. Keep the airstream constant and skip across it with your tongue thinking "DDG", like skipping a stone across water.
