Yes you can. I've played in my high school's drumline for 2 years and, along with having done so in my school's musical and our drumline show, almost every other line I saw at competitions used 4 mallets each on vibes, xylo, and marimba.

mallets
Mallets are used for the xylophone. I myself own one and you can get mallets most likely at your local music store (or order off the internet.) Do NOT use drumsticks. Those are made for drums. Not a xylophone.
xylophone
metal
A xylophone is a musical instrument made up of wooden bars of different lengths that are struck with mallets to produce sound. The player hits the bars with the mallets to create different pitches and melodies.
Either rubber or wooden mallets can be used. The rubber mallets produce a softer attack than wooden mallets. Yarn mallets tend to be used on the vibraphone, and give an even softer attack.
There are different ways to play a large xylophone, including using mallets to strike the keys, using different techniques to create varying sounds, and playing with different rhythms and dynamics to express musical ideas.
Well, there is no easiest song to play on a xylophone because there are many songs that are easy to play like: Twinkle Twinkle Little Star Mary Had a Little Lamb
Well you can have 1 or 2 mallets. If you want to make more noise at once then use 2.
The Xylophone a percussion instrument that has different bars that you hit with mallets
Instruments that use mallets include the xylophone, marimba, vibraphone, and glockenspiel. Percussion instruments like the tambourine and timpani can also be played with mallets. Additionally, some keyboard instruments, such as the celesta, are struck with mallets to produce sound. These instruments benefit from mallets to create a distinct tone and resonance.
