These are all really great ideas. I will second the importance of working on skills such as this away from the trumpet with wind patterns like Andrew said. I remember trying to learn Soldier's Tale on the horn and having a bi$#$ of a time with it - I put it away for a few days and just practiced the quintuplet passages with wind patterns while walking around campus. While it wasn't perfect right off the bat, the coordination came much quicker. Even though this passage is multpiple tongued, I think the concept carries over really well.

Also try Chris Gekker's 1 minute drill that is found in the front one of his articulation books.
