I wouldn’t try the dryer for two reasons:
1. The media is very good at finding it’s way into places you would rather it not be. I think media would work it’s way through a cloth bag and clog up your dryer.
2. It’s probably unlikely, but the dust created by the media breaking up (unrelated to unburned powder) could be flammable and even with no heat from the dryer I would worry about a spark setting it off.

What kind of brass do you want to clean? I ask because before I had a tumbler I would clean rifle brass one piece at a time on a drill press. I put a tapered wooden dowel in the chuck, held the case loosely so the mouth was grabbed and rotated by the dowel, and knocked the crud off with scoth-brite. You can even polish them if you want them to sparkle. I haven’t tried that with pistol brass, but except for the difficulty in holding the small pieces it should work.
