This is 7/8. Your counting pattern doesn't line up. If it did, the first group of the "12 12" would hit the accents set up by the groups of 3. In other words, it would be _4_ evenly spaced notes at the beginning of the phrase:
X__X__X__X_X_
Notice how the four first notes each have 2 rests between them? That's not what is in the audio. The groups of two are delayed. The actual counting pattern is: 123 123 1234 12 12
X__X__X___X_X_
Putting the second unaccented note in gets:
XX_XX_XX__X_X_
The correct rhythm is:
| 1e_a 2_+a __+_ 4_ | 1e_a 2_+a __+_ 4_ |
