Well, this is just another workaround. It's also just partially polyphonic as, in case you were alternating between your hats, eacht
third hit would again cut the first one (so on longer ringing samples it'd again be insufficient).
Also, it's a plague to edit such patterns. I prefer having my individual drum instruments on one key only.

Btw, the issue has been adressed in Battery 2, which I just got. It has become a truly great drum sampler now (allways had some
complaints about version 1), I can highly recommend it. Until the appearance of Drum 9 I will never use anything else for
samplebased drums anymore.
