I know very little about Indian music but I know tabla players and students of Indian music learn to vocalize their rhythms (ta taka ta takataka ta).
Has anyone explored applying these rhythms and vocal techniques to the harp? Seems like a chugger's paradise in there. I did a search but most of the topics I found were scale/raga-related rather than being about the rhythm..
Been curious about this for awhile, are there any good examples out there or players I should listen to?

I don't know anything about Tabla but your description sounds a lot like double and triple tonguing which is something brass players learn and it works well on the harp.

Chris Michalek is the only person that may have done that.

Indian music (tabla, sitar) is some of the most complex rhythms and interesting stuff out there.

Many drum disciplines apply "paradiddles," or vocalizations of complex rhythms. Tabla players learn entire ragas by memorizing chains of specific paradiddles. It's amazing how fast they can recite their paradiddles quite accurately.
And, yes I recall Chris Michalek extolling the virtues of using paradiddles to enhances one's rhythm harp playing as well as simply keeping good time, both here and on Harp-L. For example,
Dirty South Paradiddle thread.
Search this forum and the Harp-L archives for some more interesting reading on the topic.
