I have heard and seen people play the tumbao with a heel-tip in the left hand, and a slap-touch in the right.
It would look like this:
heel-tip-slap-touch-heel-tip-open-open
L L R R L L R R
The touch in the right hand should be played almost like a rebound from the slap.
I personally do not play like this, but I have seen this way being taught to beginners.
