Tortoise was the first group i heard using them, led me get into some of vibraphonist Cal Tjader’s material and some lesser known vibraphone groups/artists (though Tortoise is much more my speed) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EPqmgY6WTVw
Though she often played marimba, Frank Zappa’s percussionist Ruth Underwood was a monster with the mallets as well… Again not vibraphones in this particular example but anyone who digs them may want to see this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=e7Sq0chFjps
