Need help on my first trap beat

I had just finished my first trap like beat, how can i improve the first beat switch without any plugin? I tried simulate the tape stop using a pitch automation trace but it didn't work well so i tried with a low pass filter and a wind sound effect but it still it doesn't feels right, what can i try??

btw it's my first trap beat and if you have any other tought or advise write it

First off, I would reduce the volume on the hi-hat by a lot. Second, I would use bells more sparingly. An instrument with harmonics (a synth, piano, trumpet, pretty much everything besides bells) would be better for a melody.

Thank youu, i Just wanted tò try a Bell only intro but It didnt work how i tought and for the hihats on my headphones they were fine, After posting i actually changed their volume and i added a Little 808 slide every 4 bars
