I don't think there's a technical reason why drum notes couldn't be longer.
There's just no need for it, because the note-off is ignored anyway.
Also, two MIDI notes on the same "key" can't overlap, and making all notes
very short is an easy way for a sequencer to avoid that.
And more especially from the CC7, do they interact
with the duration of
the notes?
The volume controller doesn't interact with individual notes at all. It just
changes the volume immediately, affecting all notes on the respective
channel, even those which are already playing at that time.
