Nope. Sorry, not hearing the similarity from my remembering it from the late 60s. However, there is the saying that if you can remember the 60s, you really weren't there.......
No. The drum track from Inna Gada Da Vida is about as basic "four on the floor" rock beat as it gets. If you're talking about some licks from the drum solo in the 17 minute version, you're going to have to be more specific.
The three notes from the flute starting at :04 are the same three opening notes from the main riff of Smoke On The Water transposed up a few keys, but... that's hardly an unusual combination of notes.

I think the OP is referring to this drum solo break in the "song"
I was never a big fan of this song, too much of a groovy vibe, more than my tastes.

OK, now I hear it. Yeah, similar beat to the Taiko drummers. I had a suspicion it might be the drum solo, but I didn't feel like listening to the whole 17 minute version to find out.
I think it's a stretch. You hear enough drumming... Taiko, Drum Corps, hippie circle, you'll hear fragments of a beat and attempt to match it with something else.
