10 year old Neil Allen offers up an improved version of his cover of "The Spirit of Radio".

*ATTENTION* This work is presented under a claim of fair-use. It is presented for the purpose of peer review of the technical and artistic skills of the poster (Neil Allen). Effective measures have been put in place to render this work valueless as a reproduction of the underlying work.

The spoilers are:

1. The drum arrangement is not the original as performed by Neil Peart of Rush, but is; in fact, a significantly divergent original arrangement composed by Neil Allen.

2. There are several mistakes that spoil the piece as a replacement sound track of the original song by Rush (this mistake is completely consistent with the intended purpose of obtaining peer review of the performers technique however).

3. The overall quality of the audio is intentionally, and significantly impaired.

In addition, to seeking peer review, this work also seeks to provide value to the percussion community at-large, through the presentation of original percussion arrangement.

The underlying work ("The Spirit of Radio" by Rush) remains the sole copyright of the respective owner.
