This sound is called the fast tkts because thats exactly what it is: alternating a t sound and a k sound really fast.
1) First off, as with many things in beatboxing, this technique takes practice and a lot of it. When i first started out, i was nowhere near as fast as I am now. One good way to practice is to get a metronome or just tap your finger and keep up the tkts with the rhythm.
2) Point #2: try not to use your voice when making this sound. I know that i have the tendency to use more than just air when doing this sound. It can definitely be used for other effects but in my opinion, if i'm trying to do fast tkts in a beat and i hear my own voice, it just sounds sloppy. So remember, when you're trying to do fast technical beats use your lungs, not your voicebox.
3) Lastly, remember that while this sound specifically is just t's and k's, dont be afraid to toss in other sounds as well like open hi hats with the s sound. I'll talk about this more after we do the beats but experiment the hell out of this sound.
And now on to the practice beats. I'll also be posting a second video with some extra practice beats so be on the lookout for that but here are two good practice beats.
Beat 1: B tktktk K^ tktktk x2
Beat 2: B tkt K^ tkts B tkt tkt B tk K^ tkts (Zede)
