Wet Tumbler

All you guys that dry brass are killing me. After wet tumbling, I never assist the drying of my brass. It comes out of the tumbler, pins separated, gets rinses in tap water, and then goes onto a bath towel and gets "shook back and forth" for 10 seconds. I then let them sit on a dry towel overnight. The next day, everything is dry and the brass is still shiny and bright - all ready for resizing.
I tried what you suggested, but I I found that by drying them complety in a dehydrator after having been shook back and forth, and mostly dry, they come out nice and shiny and bright - and ready for sizing, plus no "spots" or tarnishing. More than one way to skin a cat I guess.
