Loping is a good analogy. We sense it in the breath, at the back of the tongue and the tip, the whole territory of mouth feel, and in the distantly entangled slide movement, but it's hard to put into words. That lazy, easy jog-step gets close.

It’s definitely tricky to explain!!!

Better than just playing the straight major scales which after time can get boring . Jazz n blues are definetly a feel factor thing

thanks Nick, what about speed? I have been recently told that my swing gets 'rigid' at fast tempos. Is that 'only' a matter of improving my technique? I always thought that my Doo-dle tonguing was basically putting the right accentuation in the right places for me. (ok, the scope is to get all notes identical, but that small difference coming with the -dle, compare to the Doo-, to me is an advantage). ...Inputs?

I don't think that any one method of tonguing will "make" the accents "always right". Because the accents are always changing! For me the goal is to make the articulations as smooth and even as possible (yet, till with that "lope" i reference in the video) and be able to freely accent on whichever notes are needed (regardless of a "da" or "ga" syllabule... or doo or "ull" in your case)!
