When a band appears on a TV show and it is obvious they are lip synching, why do we not hear the drums that are on stage?

What I mean by that is, obviously the guitars and other instruments are not plugged in, but the drums don’t have that option. So why can we not hear that the drums are actually live? Hopefully that makes sense what I am asking.

They do have that option. Mesh drum heads and double stacked cymbals. However, chances are that everything is dubbed anyway, meaning sound on set only matters for performers hearing the guide track clearly.
