Your physical analysis is not complete.  The timbre of the initial 
strike does not entirely dissipate when you make the next hit.  
Plus, and even more importantly, if the sample has any room 
ambience, that room reflection still exists when you hit the next 
strike.  But don't take my word for it, listen to realistic hihat 
samples, and play some hats in succession and just listen to the 
first hat get abruptly cut off.  That ain't how god intended it.

That's why I suggested a parameter to adjust the fade out of the 
sample that gets cut off, because it can get messy sounding with 
some hat samples.
