I'd have to give it a try, but my gut instinct is that the results wouldn't be as good. I think the chemical action of the soap and Lemishine is almost as important as the mechanical scrubbing action of the pins.
Once the soap/Lemishine gets depleted, the brass doesn't get much cleaner, no matter how much longer I tumble it. So unless you have a lot of loose crud on the brass that you just want to knock off, I can't see a reason to skip the soap/Lemishine for the first two hours.

My thought was that tumbling first with the pins would knock loose the bigger hunks of crud mechanically and fouling which, once removed, the second run with dish soap and lemi-shine would work more quickly on the remaining crud.
