Skinner, I take it you're a drummer yourself? Sweet.
Yes, you're very right that Stewart's kit has grown to impressive proportions. That whole percussion arsenal is a new set-up for this tour.
About the double-bass: I dunno, but I strongly, strongly suspect that there was some audio enhancement going on at times. For example, during "Wrapped Around Your Finger" the marimba theme continued even after Stewart sat back down at his kit! Also, I know that I heard back-up vocals on some songs, even when Sting was the only person onstage singing. I checked this stuff out with my trusty binoculars, being an obsessive geek sort.
