  Frank Beard (musician) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frank Beard, born June 11, 1949 in Frankston, Texas, is the drummer in the blues-rock band ZZ Top.
Beard was formerly with The Cellar Dwellers, The Hustlers, The Warlocks, and The American Blues bands before starting to perform and record with Billy Gibbons and Dusty Hill as "That Little Ol' Band from Texas," officially known as ZZ Top.
Ironically, Beard is the only member of the band who does not have a beard.

 Handbook of Texas Online:ROCK-AND-ROLL
Texas musicians have profoundly influenced the development and evolution of rock-and-roll and the various branches of its musical tree—rockabilly, blues rock, Tex-Mex, psychedelia, and redneck rock.
Drummer Frank Beard and bassist Dusty Hill had played in the American Blues in Dallas, and guitarist Billy Gibbons performed in the noteworthy Moving Sidewalks in Houston.
Austin-based musicians such as Joe Ely toured as the opener for the Clash, and Joe "King" Carrasco's high energy, Tex-Mex–flavored "nuevo wavo" was a perennial draw on the club circuit.

 Amazon.com: Reviews for Tejas: Music: ZZ Top   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
One thing that I did dislike about the band beginning with El Loco is that in conformity with pop of the time, drummer Frank Beard started simplifying his grooves so that after awhile, it seemed like all he could play any longer was a very basic "four on the floor beat".
Beard, incredible on all of the 70s albums, played some amazing, very subtle, unique, and relatively complex stuff on Tejas, all with a very soulful, kinda-funky-in-a-white-Texan-blues-rock-sort-a-way groove.
I know that people have said it was only a matter of effects being added, but I'd swear that some parts have been re-recorded, or at least parts of the drum track were used to trigger modern sounding samples to emphasize a "four on the floor" feel.

On these 12 tunes Billy Gibbons, Frank Beard and Dusty Hill continue to do what they have always done best: making lowdown, swampy rock and roll with a monstrous guitar crunch.
Musician (11/96, p.88) - "Billy Gibbons' guitar is so low and sour that on certain notes it sounds like a basson or bass saxophone....a ZZ Top album that will rightly please the fans....Several guitar solos inspire awe and wonder and scrunched-up facial muscles..."

With his baseball cap pulled low over his forehead, ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons appears to be little more than beard and sunglasses, just as you'd expect.
Nor is there anything surprising about the dry, twanging grumble he says hello in- after listening to him mutter through endless replays of "La Grange," the Lightnin' Hopkins cop that put ZZ Top on the map, anything less would have been a disappointment.

Yes the band has added some synthesized sounds to their instruments, and their gaudy beards and furry guitars make them seem cartoonish at times, but this is about as pure and simple as arena rock is going to get these days.
Billy Gibbons (guitar), Dusty Hill (bass), and drummer Frank Beard provided a can't-miss classic rock experience with the performance.
The more they played the better the argument could be made that more than three musicians in the band is just plain overkill.

Blues guitar phenom Eric Gales was born and raised in Memphis, learning to play at age four from older brothers Eugene and Manuel in imitation of their upside-down, left-handed style (a tradition actually passed down from their grandfather, Dempsey Garrett, Sr., who was known to jam with the likes of Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf).
Although some may be tempted to call multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and composer Jack Bruce a rock & roll musician, blues and jazz are what this innovative musician really loves.
As a result, these two genres are at the base of most of the recorded output from a career that goes back to the beginning of London's blues scene in 1962.
