Kendo UI Grid Progress Loader Override with Angular

Has anyone been able to override the existing Kendo UI progress loader with another loading indicator animated by CSS similar to Angular Spinkit.

I see within the Kendo UI js file you can simply change the html for the loading container div but would like a solution without changing the core kendo js file. I've looked at rewriting the kendo.ui.progress function but still feel there should be another way.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
