Martin,
The 'official' way is t-t-k, although I could never quite do it and use
t-k-t for the simple reason that is feels better rhymitcally to have the
slightly stronger sylable on the strong beats 1 and 3.
Others will beg to differ, but the most important thing is to practice!
When you are on the bus, in bed, on the loo, whatever, just go
ttkttkttkttkttkttkttkttkttk under your breath - no mouthpiece required.
Your friends will think you are mad, but you'll get up to a good consistent
speed in no time.
I learnt to double and triple before I could single properly, and has been
my downfall when playing moderately fast music. Maybe that is way I am on
drums now!
