No, I don't use any air at all. It's just the tip of my tongue
rapidly tapping against the alveolum. I can speed it up
so much you can hardly hear it's actually a fast series of
taps. Hmm. I know this sounds strange, but that's what I
do. It's hard to describe. I guess you'd have to see it. I
do have a trill in my mother tongue, so maybe that's why
I can take it one step further, so to speak.
