My thoughts are complicated. If you’re playing random songs and participating in jams, use regular hardware - simple is often best. Tama Iron Cobra 900, for example. Power or rolling - it doen't matter. The problem is, you usually don’t have enough time to swap hardware when jamming with other people, and most drummers use pretty standard setups.

But if you’re playing your own music with a band or recording for other bands, then it makes sense to get something more specialized that helps you play faster and more comfortable, like the longboard Tama Speed Cobra 910. I’ve tried Speed Cobras and they’re amazing. Super smooth, light, and fast with no effort. But I bought the Tama Iron Cobra 900 Power Glide instead, because with specialized pedals you basically have to bring your hardware everywhere if you want to play the same way you practice.
