15+ Years of Helping Drummers
Build Rock-Solid Timing for Real Songs
Most drummers don’t get stuck because they need more random exercises. They get stuck because they don’t have a clear way to practise, diagnose what is going wrong,
and connect grooves, fills, and songs together with control.
The Backbeat Code System is being built from real teaching experience, real student problems, and the same practice principles I use to help drummers improve their timing, confidence, and musical control.
Real Student Results: The ideas behind this system have helped students achieve strong results in official UK graded drum exams, including distinctions and high marks.
Groove-to-Fill Control: Learn how to connect grooves and fills without rushing, freezing, or losing the pulse.
Your Practice Compass: Know when to slow down, simplify, repeat, reconnect, speed up, or move on.

ABOUT GIULIANO
Built From Real Teaching. Tested On Real Stages.
I’m Giuliano, a professional drummer and drum teacher with over 20 years of teaching experience — including 15 years teaching in London.
I studied with respected Brazilian drummer Demétrius Locks, earned a Drum Performance degree from BIMM London, and spent 14 years playing with the UK rock band Lost Gravity — 12 of them performing live with backing tracks and a click.
That experience shaped the Backbeat Code System: a practical timing system built from real teaching, real stages, and real students.
