Because the audio and the video you experience at the same time on TV aren’t necessarily captured at the same time.
When a drummer is shot wide, they’re probably miming actually playing. You see the movement of their shoulders maybe, but they’re way in the background.
For close up shots, the audio is thrown away (because you’re right, it would be garbage) and replaced at the editing stage whatever perfect, pristine studio recording they want to pretend that band sounds like.
