The 7 pattern in triplet form in 4/4. Making the transition from feeling it in 7 to feeling it in 4/4 is the challenge here. As with the 5's it is a matter of processing how you hear the rhythms, and learning to feel them in the context of different pulses.

The following is the video version, with the kick and snare defining the 7 in the hi hat part. I've included the count, as a reminder of the importance of feeling the pulse as you play this.
