Which of these is not a drum Marimba bass or timpani?

The Tympani are definitely drums. The Marimba is a member of the percussion family (because you play it by beating it with mallets) but it is not a drum because it doesn't have a vibrating membrane: it has vibrating bars of wood.) "Bass" could be string bass, which is not a drum, or Bass Drum, which is. So the answer to the question is "you can't answer this question without more information."

What are the different types of mallets?

There are several types of mallets, stretching from Bell kit plastic mallets, to yarn Marimba mallets, to Timpani Mallets, and all the way to Bass Drum Mallets. Marimba mallets come in different sizes so you can have a different echo and tone when you are playing. Bell Kit mallets are hard so the sound rings out, same with Timpani mallets, except they have soft ends that vibrate the heads of the Timpani, causing the echo all percussionists appreciate, and bass drum mallets have soft but firm ends so that when they strike the head of the drum, it delivers the BOOM all band directors love.
