Most faster tempos will require that you play triplet sixteenth notes using double tonguing. Use tu-tu-ku tu or tu-ku-tu tu syllables with emphasis on the first and last "tu." When your tongue forms "ku," place your tongue as forward in your mouth as possible. Use lots of air!

Substitute a triplet for each eighth note.
Instead of 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &
a full measure of sixteenth note triplets would be
1-o-let &-o-let 2-o-let &-o-let 3-o-let &-o-let 4-o-let &-o-let
Slow the passage down to at least 70 bpm. Or, you can subdivide it into regular triplets with your metronome, then eighth note triplets, then sixteenth note triplets.
Hope this helps. It's difficult to describe, but very easy to demonstrate.

can you count it out (one..trip..let) you say one-trip-let all in one beat so in a 4/4 it would be 1trip-let 2-trip-let 3-triplet 4-trip-let, dono if that helps...at first play two 16th notes then just throw in an extra tounge in the middle of the 2...that might help also
