Disco is 4-on-the-floor quarter-note kick drum patterns. Basslines are usually octaves (but not necessarily).Tempos usually between 110-140 BPM (avg 120 BPM)

Funk is NOT 4-on-the-floor quarter-note kick drum patterns. Basslines are built around the space/rests between the notes. Tempos can be as slow as 80 BPM
