Very close. The first beat comes in a little bit too soon to be 7/8... try tapping it out and you'll notice. Tapping with your first two taps on the first two drum hits will get you the right tempo.

The reason that it can sound so close to 7/8 is because 7/8 = 14/16, which is only one sixteenth off of 13/16.

Are you referring to the opening note of the track? I'd argue that's a pickup note.

Edit: Either way, I just tapped out to 13/16 and see how that fits perfectly. Thanks for explaining.


13/16 still isn't perfect. There is something like an extra quarter beat every measure, as in 13.25/16. Of course, that makes it closer to 13/16 than 7/8.
