What do I need to play a 20x30" Sabian Thundersheet: I should have set it on fire!

sabian.c** says "Stand shown for illustration only.'
that's some mess

a couple of 9000 stands and a cross bar, or you could go full 1.5" rack components

Or, get your local welder to hook you up

Google search / gong stands
there ya' go!

On of the stores selling it recommends hanging from a cymbal stand with the tilter at 90 degrees.

I will likely light it on fire.

I will likely light it on fire.
