gong

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue could be a double definition.

'medal' is the first definition.
(informal term for a medal or prize)

'percussionist?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gong that I've seen before include "Resonant metal disc" , "Dinner call - medal" , "Round plate that resounds when struck" , "Dinner bell or slangy medal" , "Medal (sl.)" .)
