A suggestion:
Get a copy of any of Merle Evans old Ringling Records (the Decca "Circustime" is an espcially good example), or my old Music Heritage Record - Mark Heter and His Brass Band - and can hear the all the brasses double tongueing in unison. Harvey Phillips and Johnny Evans are on the Decca record, I believe.
Double-tongueing was a matter of daily survival on the circus band, and one of the few places where you got to do most of the day!
BTW, Du-Ga was how I learned it from Jimmy Burke, for what it's worth.
