About Giuseppe
I was born in Bari and am now based in London, where I have built a career as a performer and university lecturer since 2005. Over the past two decades, I have collaborated with a wide range of artists, including Tormento (Sottotono), Bosco De Oliveira (Airto Moreira, Sade), Femi Temowo (Wynton Marsalis, Amy Winehouse), Simon Carter (Jamiroquai), Svetlana Vassileva (Moby), John Wheatcroft (Carl Palmer), Danilo Riccardi (Renato Zero), and TM Stevens (James Brown), among others. My career includes international tours, studio recordings, live TV performances, and appearances at major festivals such as the Ealing Jazz Festival, the London Drum Show, Untold Festival, and the Lucca Summer Festival. After graduating from the N. Piccinni Conservatoire in Bari in 2001, I moved into teaching, holding positions at Drumtech, Tech Music School, and since 2012 at BIMM London, where I am currently Lead Lecturer for the BMus in Popular Music Performance. Over the years, I have mentored over a thousand students, many of whom now perform with major artists, including Simon Tellier (Pet Shop Boys, Jason Derulo), Fabio De Oliveira (George Clinton, Jacob Collier), Rufus Taylor (Queen), Jamie Murray (Robben Ford), Vicky O’Neon (Anastacia) and Naomi Forbes (Paloma Faith) I am also the author of the Amazon best-selling drum method The Essentials of Hip Hop Drumming, published by Fundamental Changes and distributed worldwide.

My lessons are designed to meet the needs of each student, whether you are a complete beginner or an advanced player seeking to refine your skills and expand your musical expression. I focus on developing solid technique, hand and foot coordination, timekeeping and inner clock, stylistically relevant vocabulary, sight-reading, effective practice routines, and soloing. Every lesson is structured to combine practical application with creative exploration, ensuring that you can immediately apply what you learn to your playing. Lessons are one hour in duration and include all necessary materials, along with tailored practice strategies to help you overcome challenges and achieve measurable progress. I hold a Master’s degree in Drums and Percussion and have over 20 years of experience as a Lead Lecturer in higher education, mentoring students across all levels. My approach is hands-on, supportive, and focused on helping you develop confidence, precision, and musicality on the drum kit. Lessons are suitable for students aged 15 and above, from beginners to advanced drummers who want to reach the next level in their technique, creativity, and overall musicianship.

Giuseppe backs understanding and skill with context and teaches in a way that’s relatable and inspiring
Highly Recommend! Giuseppe is an incredibly versatile and lovely teacher to study under. Have come away from 3 years of lessons with a variety of different styles and technical elements under my belt that massively helped launch my playing to new levels, was an absolute pleasure to have him as my drum teacher at BIMM London.
I’ve been tutored by Giuseppe for almost a year now and it has been an incredibly rewarding experience. Through his teaching and guidance, I have never felt more on top of my playing. His approach to teaching is structured in a way that helps you achieve your musical goals step-by-step and allows for tailored, systematic progression. Above all, he is a top human. Lessons are fun and engaging, making it an enjoyable experience all round - can’t recommend him enough!
I’ve been learning with Giuseppe for just about a year now, and the progress I’ve made is unlike anything I’ve seen before! The lessons are fun and interactive but also pushes you to do your best! Highly recommend!
Giuseppe is a dedicated and experienced teacher. During our 1:1 has offered me great insights and practical tips to improve my technique and overall drumming. Strongly recommend!
